Speaker 1: Whoson media. See, this is why you can't borrow money
Speaker 1: from people hood politics. Y'all. Oh man, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to push the episode on the USAID to next week
Speaker 1: because boy, the tea got spilled. My man. Vladimir Zelensky
Speaker 1: was like, I got time today. We gotta talk about
Speaker 1: this just messy, Like y'all. I tried to tell y'all
Speaker 1: po tixas gay Baggott, like this is so good. I'm
Speaker 1: referring to this meeting that happened last week with Vladimir
Speaker 1: z Lensky and Trump and jd Vance about continuing to
Speaker 1: get aid or from America for the Russia Ukraine war,
Speaker 1: but to really understand how Vladimir Zelensky was like, you're
Speaker 1: gonna stop playing in my face? I like, excuse me, uh,
Speaker 1: stop playing with me? And why Trump was like, my dude,
Speaker 1: I don't think you got a leg to stand on.
Speaker 1: I feel like you should just shut the fuck up
Speaker 1: and say thank you. We need to walk through how
Speaker 1: both of these things happen. Now. Listen, Obviously I have
Speaker 1: an opinion and aside that I would personally take, but
Speaker 1: you know how to show go. I just want you
Speaker 1: to understand what just happened. As the principal the guiding
Speaker 1: focus of this show remains, if you from the you
Speaker 1: kind of already do. Let's get to it. But before
Speaker 1: we do, but look, it's like this bull look is
Speaker 1: like this bull look is like this. So look, the
Speaker 1: opm VIA do send out these letters, these emails to
Speaker 1: the remaining government workers who didn't take the little furlough
Speaker 1: joint and was like, hey, what did you do for
Speaker 1: the past five days? Now I don't know what job
Speaker 1: you do, but I already know that's a hard question
Speaker 1: to answer it no matter what, Like I worked on
Speaker 1: a project, I responded to emails. I was in seventy
Speaker 1: five stupid meetings because all y'all want to do is
Speaker 1: meet you know, listen, most reports that you hear about
Speaker 1: how working for a corporation is. That's not just like
Speaker 1: manual labor is. Most of your time is in meetings,
Speaker 1: Like I'll ever actually get to do the stuff, and
Speaker 1: usually you got to do the stuff on off time
Speaker 1: hours because you got me in meetings all the dog
Speaker 1: one day, Good lord, how excellent. But that's what was out.
Speaker 1: They were like, Yo, tell me what y'all been doing.
Speaker 1: And then they actual boss was like, you know, you
Speaker 1: really don't have to answer that, but if you do
Speaker 1: answer it, that'd be dope. But if you don't answer it,
Speaker 1: you might lose your job. But you really ain't got
Speaker 1: to answer that because he really can't fire you. What
Speaker 1: I don't under what do you? What do you want
Speaker 1: me to do? Listen? Listen, listen, listen, listen. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you what almost ended my own marriage is unclear expectations. Listen.
Speaker 1: You got to be clear as to what the hell
Speaker 1: you want and need? What are your needs? Fam I
Speaker 1: would you like would it's so? Answer it? That don't
Speaker 1: answer it, fired, might not get fired. And at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, everybody's sitting around the government looking
Speaker 1: at Elon like, nigga, you don't even go here. You
Speaker 1: the dude at the college campus chilling in the rec
Speaker 1: room on campus. Ain't got no classes. Nigga, you don't
Speaker 1: go here. You telling us all how to manage our
Speaker 1: time and do our homework. You're not even a student here,
Speaker 1: Like why are you? Why are you here? So answer it?
Speaker 1: That don't answer, I don't know. In other news, the
Speaker 1: pope dying Bruh's sick Bruh is on a breathing machine,
Speaker 1: like we about to live another conclave and that's crazy. Now,
Speaker 1: however you feel about this pope in terms of popeness,
Speaker 1: he's kind of reminiscent to the sixties popes. We were
Speaker 1: a little more progressive, which you know, that's a big
Speaker 1: old relative transitive verb here, meaning you know, like conservative
Speaker 1: transitive verb, like you know you're conserving what in relation
Speaker 1: to what? So? I mean, he was, you know, he
Speaker 1: was fins to say he cool with the gays. Maybe maybe,
Speaker 1: just maybe maybe this idea of celibate popes or celibate priests,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we maybe maybe we should rethink this. Maybe
Speaker 1: humans are sexual beings and us telling them that they
Speaker 1: can't ever due the nasty uh might be leading to
Speaker 1: some of the issues I'm saying. He a little progressive
Speaker 1: either way. Thoughts and prayers to the to the A
Speaker 1: one to the A one Catholic. Yo, it's not funny.
Speaker 1: It's just funny to call him the A one Catholic.
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I'm joking about. But it's not
Speaker 1: as if, like the death of Queen Elizabeth was it
Speaker 1: was kind of funny? Should I continue that? Trainer thought
Speaker 1: I shouldn't continue that training thought oscars they happened, and
Speaker 1: this is one of the first year is that I
Speaker 1: feel like I've seen a handful of the flicks, like
Speaker 1: I saw Substance, which I was like, hell of a movie.
Speaker 1: I wish I would have seen that Palestinian doc about
Speaker 1: life in Palestine, that one, but you know, they didn't
Speaker 1: want to distribute that in the States, as if we
Speaker 1: don't already know what's going Like y'all these people crack
Speaker 1: me up in the worst way, like we don't know,
Speaker 1: like we don't already see what's happening in there. The
Speaker 1: internet exists, let us see the flick. I mean, i'mn't
Speaker 1: even understand why you're not even financially driven to be
Speaker 1: like the people want to see it anyway, what do
Speaker 1: I know? Also, happy uh Aztech New Year. We went
Speaker 1: down to Salazar Park right there in East Lost Too,
Speaker 1: right there right there in East low Softhwetier to celebrate
Speaker 1: Aztech New Year. I bought a bunch of jewelry and
Speaker 1: I got the coppol incense burning back there smelling real,
Speaker 1: uh real, Nilwaukie is selling smelling real to note ted
Speaker 1: line out there is mug and uh yeah, man, another
Speaker 1: new year, another do over. So shout out to y'all
Speaker 1: who celebrate. And finally, the ceasefire in Israel is not
Speaker 1: so ceasing as predicted by everyone. Israel is stalling out
Speaker 1: this last phase of the first phase of the ceasefire
Speaker 1: because the next phase would be making it permanent, and
Speaker 1: they're not really trying to do that because of reasons
Speaker 1: we already know. It is my hope and dream one
Speaker 1: day to live in a presented times and not live
Speaker 1: in unprecedented times to where we are watching literally history
Speaker 1: repeating itself, watching World War two be slow walked into
Speaker 1: just a new version of it, a reversal of the
Speaker 1: Cold War in that how America's on Russia side, which
Speaker 1: is just the most bizarre what the hell? And we're
Speaker 1: watching in front of us and genocidal ethnic cleansing that
Speaker 1: we're just kind of like watching. And I hope that
Speaker 1: this puts in perspective how history was in the sense
Speaker 1: that like we all look at history and think it's
Speaker 1: flat and that like everybody was on board with everything
Speaker 1: that was happening, But no, there were people that fought
Speaker 1: tooth and nail, whether it was chattel slavery, you know,
Speaker 1: Transatlantic slave trade, whether it was you know, European expansion.
Speaker 1: Everybody wasn't on board, you know, whether it was understanding
Speaker 1: Nazi Germany, like, everybody wasn't on board. People fought hard,
Speaker 1: the empires, the Empire, you know it, the Empire. Empires
Speaker 1: are going empire. It'd be super dope. It'd be cool
Speaker 1: if we like lived in a time we're just like
Speaker 1: I don't know, you you you did what was on
Speaker 1: the paper, Like if you just said, it'd be cool
Speaker 1: if like, I don't know, you know, human rights were
Speaker 1: just kind of honored, that'd be whenever dope. But no,
Speaker 1: this is not the time we're in anyway. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about America and Donald Trump being the worst big homies
Speaker 1: on Earth. Let's go like this, all right, So I
Speaker 1: want to run this episode in terms of like the background,
Speaker 1: the build up, the setup, the expectation, and the crash out.
Speaker 1: That's how we're gonna run this show. As far as
Speaker 1: what is happening between America and Ukraine. Now, these moments
Speaker 1: do not need much explanation. Again, if you grew up
Speaker 1: in the Inner City for a number of reasons, one
Speaker 1: of which is you already know the person that's gonna
Speaker 1: always try to big brow you like you can't ever
Speaker 1: ask them for no favor. And oftentimes what sucks about
Speaker 1: it is they be kind of right. They be right
Speaker 1: about a lot of stuff. I'm getting ahead of myself,
Speaker 1: but this, hopefully, this is one of the clip things
Speaker 1: to where like, here's the thing. Trump is right like
Speaker 1: that that Ukraine could not have possibly lasted this long,
Speaker 1: no matter how down they are for their squabbles, because
Speaker 1: clearly Zelensky is down for his he is down the squabble.
Speaker 1: He will square up. I don't care how big you are.
Speaker 1: The reality is they wouldn't have lasted this long without
Speaker 1: American help, without our money and without our guns. That's
Speaker 1: the truth. I mean, and I hate to say it,
Speaker 1: but it's real. But you ain't gotta be you gotta
Speaker 1: be like that. America is the last people you need
Speaker 1: to borrow money from. Who got an uncle like that,
Speaker 1: who got a homy like that. That's the last person
Speaker 1: you need to ask to help you move to borrow
Speaker 1: money when you're getting bullied. That's the last listen. I've
Speaker 1: talked about this before, about cashing that check. I have
Speaker 1: a case of emergency break glass card to call. There
Speaker 1: is an og I could call, but that I will
Speaker 1: be paying for that for a very long time. So
Speaker 1: you can't always you just can't. They gonna big bro
Speaker 1: you all the time. So you already understand. You also
Speaker 1: already understand somebody that like, it's just you're not finna
Speaker 1: just play with me in my face right now. I
Speaker 1: don't care what the situation is. You're not just gonna
Speaker 1: play with me like you look, try Jesus not me,
Speaker 1: because I throw hands, Like, listen, I'm done with you
Speaker 1: playing with me in my face right you. You like
Speaker 1: you're gonna stop. You're gonna stop doing this with me
Speaker 1: right now. I don't care. Like I'm ready to crash out, nigga,
Speaker 1: I'll go to jail tonight. I know I need this.
Speaker 1: But Nigga, you're not finna talk to me like that.
Speaker 1: We all understand that now. On the other hand, again,
Speaker 1: if you're from the city, you already understand somebody that
Speaker 1: you don't really mess with. I already kind of don't
Speaker 1: mess with you. It's but it's still like kind of
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. It's the right thing to do.
Speaker 1: But and you also got something I need. But I
Speaker 1: kind of really I don't. I mean, alright, I guess.
Speaker 1: Do you know people like that? Did you? Like? All right,
Speaker 1: I guess, but like I'll here you go. That person
Speaker 1: got the nerve and to walk in and talk tough,
Speaker 1: and you like I already I already low key, don't
Speaker 1: really mess with you. I don't need you coming here acting.
Speaker 1: So I really don't want to do this. They making
Speaker 1: me do it, but like, I really don't, but you're
Speaker 1: gonna make I mean, I guess, but I'm actually looking
Speaker 1: for a way to not have to do this. But
Speaker 1: you do got someth I need, So I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess, like I don't want to do this anyway,
Speaker 1: but since you need something from me, I might as
Speaker 1: well get something out of it. Do we understand the
Speaker 1: stakes here? Do you understand the comparisons I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: You know, don't you? You and my house? You need something?
Speaker 1: You expect me to be nice to you? Nigga, you
Speaker 1: didn't go home? So we talk about that, only we're
Speaker 1: talking millions of lives, a reversal of the Cold War
Speaker 1: and a possible genocide, and a racing of an entire
Speaker 1: country off the map. That's what we talking about, Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. So the build up, the build up's
Speaker 1: got to go back to twenty fourteen, and it actually
Speaker 1: has got to go back to the Cold War, believe
Speaker 1: it or not. Now we've talked so much about the
Speaker 1: Cold War before in that really in the era that like,
Speaker 1: for some reason, this bubble that you and I exist in,
Speaker 1: we all know in one hundred and fifty years from
Speaker 1: now there will be an entirely new crop of humans
Speaker 1: on this planet that will be looking at an entirely
Speaker 1: different world, probably a world that doesn't have Florida in
Speaker 1: it because of sea levels unless we do something incredible.
Speaker 1: Since we live in this era, there are certain things
Speaker 1: that have shaped the world that you and I existed,
Speaker 1: one of which is the Cold War. Dawn time to
Speaker 1: go into the complete history of the Cold War, but
Speaker 1: I feel like if you Midge, you kind of understand
Speaker 1: what that is. Arms race, nuclear bombs, Why Russia is
Speaker 1: our big enemy? Is was this communism versus democracy or
Speaker 1: capitalists that we believed is an existential war for who
Speaker 1: won't run the planet? Who going to be the greatest superpower? Right?
Speaker 1: Who gets to control the board? It's Cold war? Right?
Speaker 1: And some would argue, depending on how you want to
Speaker 1: cut it that America one US won the Cold War.
Speaker 1: Part of that was because of the fall of the
Speaker 1: Berlin Wall and the breaking up through the USSR into
Speaker 1: multiple countries, right, so the Soviet Union was no longer
Speaker 1: and Russia as a nation has always felt like we
Speaker 1: got to get our get back. At some point, Vladimir
Speaker 1: Putin believes it is his job to get his get back,
Speaker 1: that Russia needs its glory that it's had before, and
Speaker 1: part of which means I can't have nobody joining NATO
Speaker 1: that live in my hood because you part of the ops.
Speaker 1: And what I need to do is start this land
Speaker 1: that I had that Russia had to give up. We
Speaker 1: got to get it back. We got to get our
Speaker 1: get back, one of which is Ukraine, because according to Russia,
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as Ukraine. Now Russia, obviously, like
Speaker 1: I said, history is nuanced. Not every Russian feels like this.
Speaker 1: We're saying Russia as an institution or socio political, geopolitical context,
Speaker 1: Ukraine's not a country, just like the way that I
Speaker 1: don't believe Taiwan is a country. You're You're not a country.
Speaker 1: You're the people that lost the Civil War. You're not
Speaker 1: a country, so it's the same sort of context. So
Speaker 1: they're like, we're not We're not invading Ukraine. Ukraine is Russia.
Speaker 1: They need to stop pretending like they not when you
Speaker 1: when you when you get kids that are old enough
Speaker 1: to start paying rent, and they actually pretend like the
Speaker 1: room that they that they exist in is their apartment.
Speaker 1: My nigga, that is not your apartment. This is you live.
Speaker 1: If you if you are, if you're an adult and
Speaker 1: you had to live with your parents, you understand that
Speaker 1: you don't even if you pay, even if you pay
Speaker 1: and half the bills, if you live in the say,
Speaker 1: if you live under the roof of your parents, my nigga,
Speaker 1: you are not on your own, and you will never
Speaker 1: feel on your own. That's Russia's feeling. Ukraine is like, y'all,
Speaker 1: I mean, how are you finna tell me? First of all,
Speaker 1: there's a border number one, number two, we have our
Speaker 1: own army, our own government, own Like you're diluted. What
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Oh my god, y'all lost. We're
Speaker 1: literally this is our flag. We're leg what do you
Speaker 1: what do you mean We're not a country. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: By twenty fourteen, Russia decided to annex Crimea, which is
Speaker 1: why I keep calling this series crimea River, and because
Speaker 1: it reminds me of Justin Timberlake crimea crime already. No,
Speaker 1: I learned that from hey anyway, the magic of Justin
Speaker 1: Timberlake and Timberland is the chemistry's amazing. I realized that
Speaker 1: really ages me because y'all didn't get to enjoy that
Speaker 1: because I know my demographic. So since then Ukraine is like, like, uh, help,
Speaker 1: do y'all this book? Do y'all see this? Why are
Speaker 1: y'all just letting these Can we get some help? They
Speaker 1: down to squabble, squabble up listen and they not. They
Speaker 1: got molded a little bit hard. But like my g
Speaker 1: like we just we just lost an entire region. We
Speaker 1: made a peace treaty with these people to cease fire
Speaker 1: for them to stop shooting. We was willing to scrap,
Speaker 1: but the only way to get them to stop shooting
Speaker 1: was to be like, Okay, damn, here's Crimea. But like,
Speaker 1: can you can you leave us alone? Like goddamn, you
Speaker 1: are the largest land mass nation. Like it takes longer.
Speaker 1: It as the most time zones of any country. It's
Speaker 1: longer to get from one tip of Russia to the
Speaker 1: other than it is to fly from Russia to Chicago.
Speaker 1: That's how big the country is. Why do you need us?
Speaker 1: Damn man? We did cease fires with them. They don't.
Speaker 1: They don't keep their promises. We've all watched it. They
Speaker 1: continue They first of all, they didn't return hostages. They
Speaker 1: kept shooting. I would like, we're like we are we
Speaker 1: are literally out here on our own, like nobody I
Speaker 1: don't understand. And then the countries that are over here,
Speaker 1: Russia or countries that are next to us, Germany, France,
Speaker 1: the EU, y'all only sending us little pea shooters, nigga, Like,
Speaker 1: can we get some like weapon weapons? Are y'all scared
Speaker 1: of Russia too? You really gonna make us be the
Speaker 1: only people willing to squabble up with them? How does
Speaker 1: it all fall on us? Well, if y'all not gonna help,
Speaker 1: can I join NATO in America? For some reason, was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we want to smoke with Russia.
Speaker 1: We just kind of finally like we finally, Look, we've
Speaker 1: been fighting with them through other people's fighting for like
Speaker 1: almost eighty years now, Like we finally, like everybody went
Speaker 1: to the corner. Now here's the thing. There's a difference
Speaker 1: between calm and peace. There's a difference between peace and homeostasis. Right,
Speaker 1: And if you've again been in a relationship with somebody
Speaker 1: you love, you understand the difference between peace and calm.
Speaker 1: And what that usually is is you just don't want
Speaker 1: to rock the boat. Just don't say anything that's gonna
Speaker 1: set anybody off. We're going good right now, and I
Speaker 1: just don't want no problems. That don't mean you got peace,
Speaker 1: That just means you trying not to rock the boat.
Speaker 1: And that's essentially how America's been with Russia forever. It's
Speaker 1: like you gonna chill, You gonna chill. Oh, you gonna chill. You, No,
Speaker 1: you chill, y'all chill, You're gonna chill. We already don't
Speaker 1: like each other, so just like, let's just not let's
Speaker 1: just agree to like stay out of each other's way.
Speaker 1: And Russia like, hey, listen, you take Ukraine. It's up.
Speaker 1: I don't like leave us alone to our devices. Ukraine
Speaker 1: is like, are y'all serious? What? And Russia just continued
Speaker 1: to like, there's bully these fools, and then like we
Speaker 1: all remember, which is gonna be important very soon. We
Speaker 1: all remember in twenty twenty two, Russia decided to turn
Speaker 1: up again and they just hit the Domeboss region and
Speaker 1: just started just bomb bardon Ukraine. And this is where
Speaker 1: Vladimir Zelensky really started like squabbling up and became this
Speaker 1: international star. Now, Vladimir Zelensky was a movie dude, believe
Speaker 1: it or not. He was in entertainment, and he became
Speaker 1: a president. And as he became president, according to him,
Speaker 1: he like a young, attractive dude, but he really bouked
Speaker 1: that life. Part of the uniform he wears all the
Speaker 1: time is a uniform match in the military. So when
Speaker 1: he goes to speak at other countries about trying to
Speaker 1: get aid, because he's like, listen, I'm on the front
Speaker 1: lines right now. You got me out here squabbling myself
Speaker 1: with this bully. I'm out here fighting debo by myself.
Speaker 1: None of you niggas jumped in. So since one of
Speaker 1: you niggas jumped in, and y'all can at least throw
Speaker 1: me some weapons, okay, But he wear his guard out there,
Speaker 1: so he's this sort of sort of like hero situation
Speaker 1: where he's the one fighting these wars, right He the
Speaker 1: one on the front lines, and everybody thought, because Russia
Speaker 1: is Russia, that this war right now is gonna take
Speaker 1: like two weeks. But that man got more heart than
Speaker 1: a little bit, and he had squabbles and he was
Speaker 1: lighting them Russians up right. The only problem is it's
Speaker 1: a trillion Russians. If you've ever tried to, like, you know,
Speaker 1: you live in a lower income and you got ants
Speaker 1: or you got roaches, you could kill him. It's just
Speaker 1: more of them. Sometimes it feel like the only way
Speaker 1: to end all these bugs is to just blow the
Speaker 1: house up. That's sometimes out feel, or to just give
Speaker 1: up and be like, listen, that room is yours. We
Speaker 1: just gonna live with roaches. It just is what it is.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my best, but just they ain't nothing
Speaker 1: I gonna do right that Sometimes it start feeling like that,
Speaker 1: and we all saw that. Now, let's rewind the clock
Speaker 1: back to twenty sixteen, when it was very obvious to
Speaker 1: anybody that's got like three cents of logic, Russia, Russian trolls,
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin was really deeply involved in
Speaker 1: making sure that Donald Trump became president the first time. Clearly,
Speaker 1: Trump admires this man. He liked the way. He liked
Speaker 1: the way Putin moved, he liked the way he talked,
Speaker 1: he liked the way he functioned. He liked the way
Speaker 1: the fact that he's just a big, tough guy again gangster.
Speaker 1: He like all that. He want to run his country
Speaker 1: like that. I want people to be scared of me
Speaker 1: the way they're scared of Pootin. I want I want
Speaker 1: people to walk in here and see me the way
Speaker 1: they see you. But I'm a New Yorker. I'm a
Speaker 1: little different. I'm a little more mafioso like you. You know,
Speaker 1: you wrestle bears my nigga Like, that's not how we move.
Speaker 1: I move more mafioso style. You feel me, And I
Speaker 1: want I want to run the country like that, where
Speaker 1: the bread is mine, oligarch is mine. And I want
Speaker 1: to be recognized in the world the way that you
Speaker 1: recognize in the world. I'm trying to get like you,
Speaker 1: big Homy, which means that at some point we was
Speaker 1: gonna see who was really the big dog. And again,
Speaker 1: if you understand the streets, we understand exactly who the
Speaker 1: big dog is. It ain't Trump because you doing whatever
Speaker 1: the hell Vladimir Putin tell you to do, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is this? This would even be me. If let's
Speaker 1: just say in a bizarro parallel universe that I was
Speaker 1: actually a fan of Donald Trump, my eyes would still
Speaker 1: not be lying to me. Nigga, you want to be him,
Speaker 1: and that is your weakness. That man will get you
Speaker 1: to do whatever you cannot out finesse this man, and
Speaker 1: clearly you owe him. So once it started coming out
Speaker 1: that there was certain things going on about the election
Speaker 1: and how the mug was stolen and that Trump was
Speaker 1: like you tripping, you know, then you had the Russian
Speaker 1: probes and you know, Robert Muller and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: When Trump was being investigated. Now, one of the initial
Speaker 1: pieces of that investigation was that perfectly good phone call
Speaker 1: that Trump always talks about, when he was on the
Speaker 1: phone with guess what, Vladimir Zelenski asking him, if you
Speaker 1: want this aid from US, quit pro code. This was
Speaker 1: his first impeachment. If you want this aid from US,
Speaker 1: maybe you should investigate the Biden family. Remember Barisma and
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden situation. Remember Trump already was like, already, don't
Speaker 1: mess with you, but there's a way you could help
Speaker 1: and it's if you would investigate the Biden family Zelensky
Speaker 1: like my, nigga, why would I investigate what that got
Speaker 1: to do with me? I don't that's not that's not
Speaker 1: my place anyway, And none of it matters anyway because
Speaker 1: the Congress has already agreed to this money. I don't
Speaker 1: understand what we talk about right now. There is no
Speaker 1: quid pro quo because the answers already. Yes, nigga, you
Speaker 1: just got here. I don't understand, like, what are we
Speaker 1: talking about? And obviously Trump don't like it when it's
Speaker 1: somebody that he deemed himself stronger than talking to him
Speaker 1: like he craves. Now I want you again to put
Speaker 1: on your hood antennas and put yourself in Trump's shootes
Speaker 1: in the sense that you wouldn't like that either. If
Speaker 1: somebody you don't respect this little this little this little white,
Speaker 1: this little yn, if you will talking to me like
Speaker 1: like you done ran the streets like me, you two
Speaker 1: lighten the booty like. I don't appreciate you talking to
Speaker 1: me like this. I was giving you a chance. I
Speaker 1: really don't have to mess with you. And how are
Speaker 1: you finna come in here and tell me what I
Speaker 1: need to do with my money. Zelinsky like, Nigga, what
Speaker 1: is you? Like? Zilinsky like, bro, what what do you
Speaker 1: think you're doing? Lisky like, hey, I thought you skipped
Speaker 1: war for bone spurs. Cuz ain't you just the like
Speaker 1: reality TV show star that's sold a bunch of trash buildings? Nika,
Speaker 1: who are you? Like? I don't understand what what respect
Speaker 1: do you want me to have for you? I'm like,
Speaker 1: you have to remember these people what now? I know
Speaker 1: they are not nationality wise Russian these are, but these
Speaker 1: people are from New Europe like these these are like
Speaker 1: we make jokes about the Caucus Mountains from the caucas regions,
Speaker 1: about Caucasians, we make jokes about it. But these versions,
Speaker 1: these these tribes that live up there in the Serbian
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever met like real street
Speaker 1: people from this region, like people that like didn't know
Speaker 1: the bad guys in movies, the henchmen, like they don't
Speaker 1: they are not to be played with. These people like
Speaker 1: Zelenski come from that. He like, I know I'm a
Speaker 1: pretty boy now, but you gotta understand, like my people
Speaker 1: survive winners that wipe out species. I know, Vladimir my
Speaker 1: enemy but you gotta understand we cut we from the
Speaker 1: same era. We cut from the same cloth. So all
Speaker 1: that tough talk with me it don't you gotta understand
Speaker 1: I'm not don't do all that tough talk like I like,
Speaker 1: if anything, you have to remember he like, if anything,
Speaker 1: I feel like again, I'm cut from the same cloth
Speaker 1: as Vladimir Putin. He just don't keep the code. I
Speaker 1: keep the code. So that's what we're talking about right now.
Speaker 1: So you have to remember Trump already, don't mess with now.
Speaker 1: Trump loses the election, the next one, can't stress enough,
Speaker 1: actually lost it. Biden jumps in with a lot of
Speaker 1: the Republicans also that are like, we need to defend Ukraine.
Speaker 1: That's right, like they are the they are the front.
Speaker 1: Now listen, we tire of sending bodies out there now.
Speaker 1: I'm finna send no bodies out there, but we could
Speaker 1: send you some guns because we all saw with our
Speaker 1: own eyes these people Russia, unprovoked, just decided to attack
Speaker 1: Ukraine like we saw it. So Zelensky's like, man, thank you.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like we really do need
Speaker 1: this help, Like we honestly couldn't survive this without you.
Speaker 1: We feel like we, I mean, we fighting, we holding
Speaker 1: it down, like wed we pushing the line. But like
Speaker 1: my nigga, like this ain't gonna stop unless y'all help.
Speaker 1: And now if y'all don't help, the least you could
Speaker 1: do is just kid, if you would, just if you
Speaker 1: would just let us, if you just let us join NATO,
Speaker 1: just I don't understand, Like, if you just let us
Speaker 1: join NATO, we'll be fine. But Trump this whole time
Speaker 1: is like, I don't know why we sending money to them.
Speaker 1: I don't like And every time Trump opened his mouth,
Speaker 1: it's things that Russia said. So vlaidmirre'. Zelensky's not stupid.
Speaker 1: He's like, you're just repeating. What the fuck man? You're
Speaker 1: just repeating, like how are we here? So obviously, now,
Speaker 1: Zelensky's deeply invested in making sure, hoping that if Trump win,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really hard for me to go over there,
Speaker 1: because I already know he don't. He keeps saying peace,
Speaker 1: But here's how he describing peace. This is the funny
Speaker 1: part you describe in peace like this, if you just
Speaker 1: give Russia what they want, then they gonna stop hitting you.
Speaker 1: So if you want peace, so that's how I'm negotiating.
Speaker 1: This is me doing diplomacy. Is like, I'll just I'll
Speaker 1: get you a ceasefire if you just give him everything.
Speaker 1: Let me get this straight, homie. So what you're telling
Speaker 1: me is these bullies will stop jumping me if I
Speaker 1: just give them everything they ask for when I walk by.
Speaker 1: That's how I get peace. This is your negotiation. So
Speaker 1: you're telling me that, like, okay, well then let me
Speaker 1: do this deal. If I do this deal, they'll leave
Speaker 1: you alone, my nigga, if I just give them what
Speaker 1: they want. This isn't a deal. What the and how
Speaker 1: are you? What do you have to do with this deal?
Speaker 1: I just need you to continue to support us like
Speaker 1: you said you was gonna do. So this is the
Speaker 1: build up. Y'all already don't mess with each other, but
Speaker 1: it looks like you might need each other. That that's
Speaker 1: the build up. Here's the setup. Ukraine has these things
Speaker 1: called these rare precious minerals, which are stuff that you
Speaker 1: need for chips, like you know, processing chips for our iPhones,
Speaker 1: for our solar panels, for just things that we need
Speaker 1: in this world. Ukraine got it? Now? You remember Trump
Speaker 1: fashions himself as a dawn, and in his mind there
Speaker 1: are no relationships. We have no homies, there are no friends,
Speaker 1: there's only customers. My support to you is contingent on
Speaker 1: what you can give me, what you got for me.
Speaker 1: I'll help you, but you got to help me. We
Speaker 1: got alliances based on what you can give everything. If
Speaker 1: you think of him like this, it makes sense everything,
Speaker 1: transaction everything. I do everything for the hood, and even that,
Speaker 1: what's in it for me, my nigga. I don't owe
Speaker 1: anybody shit. We agree on something, you do your part,
Speaker 1: I do mine. That's it. And if I don't like
Speaker 1: the agreement in the middle of the agreement, I'm changing
Speaker 1: the agreement because I don't care about you either. I
Speaker 1: just need minds. And that's how this man does what
Speaker 1: he calls diplomacy. So the setup is now. If you
Speaker 1: want me to continue to go back to my country
Speaker 1: and tell them to keep supporting you, which I clearly
Speaker 1: don't want to do. It's so obvious he don't want
Speaker 1: to do this. Well, we need to get something in return,
Speaker 1: and what I need is for you to agree to
Speaker 1: give us all your precious minimal and low key is
Speaker 1: Trump's attitude. You kind of owe us. We was giving
Speaker 1: you aid without anything in return in the first place,
Speaker 1: So really, I could stop giving you aid and you
Speaker 1: just paying me back all the shit we've done for you.
Speaker 1: You just paying us back. So what I expect you
Speaker 1: to do is I expect you to come in here,
Speaker 1: kiss the ring, say the thank yous, and then let me,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of flex a little bit, and let's
Speaker 1: get this deal done. Let's get what I need first,
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about what you need, which means subtexts.
Speaker 1: If you again, if you're from the streets, you already
Speaker 1: noticed Trump had no plans on giving them to anything.
Speaker 1: That's why he kept saying, oh, we'll talk about defense
Speaker 1: stuff later. Let's just get the deal done. Let's get
Speaker 1: the deal done, and then we could talk about what
Speaker 1: you need. Translation which I think you already know the translation.
Speaker 1: Zelenski coming in here, like, okay, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: eat kron I hate this shit, I hate this clown,
Speaker 1: but I do need this I do need these guns.
Speaker 1: But I need him to understand that, like, yo, you
Speaker 1: are being hoodwinked, right, this man is using you. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you like you keep saying you're my that you're
Speaker 1: our only friend. But what's what I'm trying to tell you.
Speaker 1: I'm your only friend. I'm the only one telling you
Speaker 1: the truth. Everybody else in here scared of you. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you the truth. Bro, Listen, this helps us both.
Speaker 1: You don't live over there. I live over there. So like, like, listen,
Speaker 1: this man is using you, and he like, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to tell you, he using you. I know you don't
Speaker 1: like me. You don't give a fuck if you like
Speaker 1: me or not. This nigga is using you, right, So
Speaker 1: this is the setup. We're gonna come in. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have this thing. Trump knows for a fact that this
Speaker 1: war cannot be one without America's help because they're still
Speaker 1: not a NATO and they just don't have enough manpower
Speaker 1: and enough weapons. Trump knows that. So this is the lens.
Speaker 1: So let's just go in here. Let's play nice, and
Speaker 1: let's figure this out. This man who is actively in
Speaker 1: war is like, all right, I'm gonna have to sell
Speaker 1: out a little and agree to this deal. But this
Speaker 1: deal's got to have two sides. I'm gonna need you
Speaker 1: to stop just saying all this shit that uh the
Speaker 1: Russia saying and just like please just understand that, like,
Speaker 1: we're not the aggressors, which is something I forgot about
Speaker 1: in the build up, is that Trump had the actual
Speaker 1: nerve to get to fix his face, to say in
Speaker 1: front of the world that Ukraine started it, like we
Speaker 1: none of us remember two years ago. That was the
Speaker 1: funniest I was like, are you serious? You both we
Speaker 1: were all there, you telling me this our fault. So
Speaker 1: if somebody punches you in the back of the head
Speaker 1: and it breaks they knuckles, it's your fault that your
Speaker 1: head is too hard. It's your fault he broke his
Speaker 1: knuckles because you shouldn't have had such a hard head.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have defended yourself. So therefore you started it,
Speaker 1: is what Trump's I have to say, and blotting me
Speaker 1: is like I cannot believe. I listen, some people you
Speaker 1: just can't borrow money from, like I said. So that's
Speaker 1: the build up, and the setup was this meeting to
Speaker 1: agree on this deal where Zelensky would get some security stuff.
Speaker 1: You're gonna do a ceasefire. You're promising to do a
Speaker 1: ceasefire and in return, you're gonna We're gonna let you
Speaker 1: have access to our rare minerals Zelensky like I need.
Speaker 1: It can't just be a ceasefire, because this is what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you, he ain't gonna listen to
Speaker 1: it unless you put some muscle behind it. I've been
Speaker 1: in this war for a long time. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: tell you. It's it's been over ten years. Okay, So
Speaker 1: that's what they're they're coming into. And the expectation is,
Speaker 1: like I said, you're going to kiss the ring, We're
Speaker 1: gonna sign the deal, blah blah blah blah blah. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: you're so amazing. Okay, but can you do the thing?
Speaker 1: So everybody expected, but that is not what happened to
Speaker 1: crash out. I love the fact that this played out
Speaker 1: in live TV for a number of reasons, because one,
Speaker 1: it proved the concept of what we were trying to
Speaker 1: say in this whole show, which is politics is just
Speaker 1: the hood talk. And secondly, what we already knew about
Speaker 1: Vladimir Selensky, which is we talking about a man that
Speaker 1: is so willing to stand on business. We have witnessed
Speaker 1: three years of him willing to stand on business that
Speaker 1: he's like, you're not finna play in my favor. Him
Speaker 1: being so willing to not let you play in his face,
Speaker 1: which is why Ukraine keeps still standing, why they're still
Speaker 1: willing to send their sons to this war, because you
Speaker 1: got a man out here that's like, I stand for mine.
Speaker 1: I don't care what the world say, I stand on mind.
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna come over here and I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: you talk. But listen, you ain't finna just play in
Speaker 1: my fast. So the joint meetings start, Frum do his thing.
Speaker 1: Lord de Meir start talking about Hey, listen, man, I
Speaker 1: want to show you some pictures cause I kind of
Speaker 1: want to show you that. Like I mean, I feel you,
Speaker 1: like I'm translating here, like I feel you. I know
Speaker 1: that's your boy, I know that's your hommy. And then
Speaker 1: but like, listen, what I'm trying to tell you is,
Speaker 1: like the idea that we started this is ridiculous. Man.
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to tell you is you can't trust
Speaker 1: your boy like this what he do. Here's some shots
Speaker 1: of like some of the suffering we going through. Here's
Speaker 1: how he returned into our POW's here's him not agreeing
Speaker 1: to the Here's him saying he going through the ceasefire,
Speaker 1: and then not doing it. Here's him going back on
Speaker 1: his word. So I know you think that, like you
Speaker 1: could just tell this man to stop and he gonna stop.
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to tell you, or at least that's
Speaker 1: what you're telling everybody's I'm trying to tell you. He
Speaker 1: don't just he's not gonna listen. And it's not your
Speaker 1: son's out there dying. It's my son's out there dying.
Speaker 1: It's my daughter's out there dying. So I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to say, like, I mean, I'm with it. I'm clearly
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here and I know you already don't mess
Speaker 1: with me, but like, I mean, you're right, like I mean,
Speaker 1: we really need to help, but this is helping you. Also,
Speaker 1: Trump's cool, like yeah, you know, it's it's really hard
Speaker 1: to see, but yeah, you know, let's let's let's let's
Speaker 1: get this going. And you're not gonna need any security stuff,
Speaker 1: like he'll listen to me, it's all good. And Zelensky's like,
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, and then young ass JD listen,
Speaker 1: you know what, you know what he Linda, excuse me,
Speaker 1: I've got something to say here. You know you come here,
Speaker 1: you tried being strong. Joe Biden tried and blistering and
Speaker 1: saying this, this and this, and Vladimir Lynsky didn't listen
Speaker 1: to it. So what we're trying to do is true diplomacy.
Speaker 1: We're stepping in and we're gonna get it done for you.
Speaker 1: So I would like you to be a little more
Speaker 1: appreciative for the things that you've done. Now let me
Speaker 1: pause for a second and be a narrator here, jd
Speaker 1: Vance and Trump ain't done shit. You weren't there, y'all.
Speaker 1: Weren't presidents during this whole time the Biden administration has
Speaker 1: So I don't know what thank you you want me
Speaker 1: to give you, but you wasn't there. So then and
Speaker 1: and this whole time, Zelensky holding its cool, holding his mud,
Speaker 1: and he like okay, uh. You know, you know you
Speaker 1: could see it in a person's eyes when they like
Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm done listening, like I'm done, Like okay,
Speaker 1: I've been letting you, I've been letting you talk your
Speaker 1: talk for a while, but now like okay, hold up,
Speaker 1: I got time. Now. It's like when a black woman
Speaker 1: goes you know, I just think it's funny. Now you're
Speaker 1: stuck when a black woman do that. I just think
Speaker 1: it's funny that she about to tell you about your life, homie.
Speaker 1: She about to have a ton of receipts as to
Speaker 1: how wrong what you just said was. That's I just
Speaker 1: think it's funny that, Like, she don't think it's funny. Nigga,
Speaker 1: you dumb as hell, and she finna hand you your ass.
Speaker 1: So essentially that's what he did. He was like, let
Speaker 1: me let me show you these receipts as to what
Speaker 1: you're saying is bullshit? Okay, what diplomacy? JD? Are you
Speaker 1: talking about? Nigga? We tried that and you've never done it. Also,
Speaker 1: you wasn't the fuck outside? Have you been? Have you
Speaker 1: been to Russia? Have you been to Krimea? Have you
Speaker 1: been to Ukraine? Nigga, you haven't. You weren't there, homie.
Speaker 1: JD Like, I don't appreciate you being disrespect I don't
Speaker 1: seen videos. Again, you're not finna tell a man who
Speaker 1: just came from the front line that you've done seen videos?
Speaker 1: Jad Like, excuse me? Have you even said thank you
Speaker 1: for all the ship we've done for you? Vladimir? Like,
Speaker 1: thank you for what you've been saying for the past
Speaker 1: four damn years that y'all shouldn't help us. What do
Speaker 1: you you want me to do? You want me to
Speaker 1: thank you for spreading Russia? Yeah, thank you, Okay, thank you?
Speaker 1: And Trump like, well, I don't want to talk about
Speaker 1: nothing to till you, till you sign over your ship.
Speaker 1: Just give me your lunch money and then we'll talk
Speaker 1: about everything. I just want to get you. Just give
Speaker 1: me your stuff, and he like, nigga, I'm not finna.
Speaker 1: Just hand this over to you without any promises. I'll
Speaker 1: tell I'll tell him to stop. You're gonna pull your
Speaker 1: dog off me. That's currently mauling me. Right now. I
Speaker 1: don't think that dog listens to you. And right now
Speaker 1: the dog bite me. But don't think, my nigga, that
Speaker 1: dog ain't coming for you. Don't you get don't you?
Speaker 1: Don't you get it in your head. I don't know
Speaker 1: why you think you know why. I actually I do
Speaker 1: know why. You think you safe because you got an
Speaker 1: ocean in between us. He coming for you too. If
Speaker 1: he doing this to me, he doing this to you.
Speaker 1: And Trump ain't like, don't boss, don't tell no, don't
Speaker 1: tell no, Dawn. I don't think it's in your place
Speaker 1: for you to tell me that. Now, this is me
Speaker 1: switching perspectives. Now listen, if you trump, you like you
Speaker 1: talking way too tough for somebody that needs me. I
Speaker 1: don't like how you talking to me right now. I
Speaker 1: don't have to do this with you. I already don't
Speaker 1: want to do this with you. So I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: you to pipe down. You are losing this war. I'm
Speaker 1: the only one talking talking straight to you. You telling
Speaker 1: me I'm the only talking straight. You don't only want
Speaker 1: talking straight. I'm gonna wa talk it straight to you.
Speaker 1: Where the EU at huh have they helped I don't
Speaker 1: know why the fuck you yelling at me? They not
Speaker 1: helping you. I'm the only want to help. Now, give
Speaker 1: me all of your resources and maybe I'll tell these
Speaker 1: people to stop. Zelensky like, are you are you serious?
Speaker 1: Are you serious? I could have end this thing in
Speaker 1: three days. He's like, I know, that's what we hear
Speaker 1: from the Kremlin all the time. You're if I'm putting
Speaker 1: myself in Zelensky's shoes. He's like, I can't believe I
Speaker 1: gotta talk to this soft ass clown. I cannot believe
Speaker 1: I have to deal with this shit. You the bone
Speaker 1: spur head ass like, I can't believe I have to
Speaker 1: you gotta talk to him? Have you gotta talk to him?
Speaker 1: He got them things. And that's what sucks about when
Speaker 1: you have to talk to an asshole like that. He's like, listen,
Speaker 1: you're you can't win this war without us, oh lord,
Speaker 1: don't sometimes in his defense, in Trump's defensie right, you
Speaker 1: can't win this war without it. And this is why
Speaker 1: Zelensky looking at the EU like, y'all see this shit.
Speaker 1: Y'all got me over here like he right, y'all not
Speaker 1: pitching in. You got me over here asking this blowhard
Speaker 1: for money. Nigga like you in the block? You want
Speaker 1: to you live over here? Why y'all letting me do
Speaker 1: this shit? God damn it. I gotta stand there talk
Speaker 1: to this dumb ass. Damn it. Oh man, you needn't
Speaker 1: want me to be thankful out here, just lying, just
Speaker 1: nothing you're saying. I'm trying to tell you I feel you.
Speaker 1: You're right, I can't win this without you. But don't
Speaker 1: you understand that if I don't win, he coming for you. Trump, Like,
Speaker 1: don't worry about me, homeboy, take care of minds. Absolute
Speaker 1: crash out. So now don't nobody want to talk. They
Speaker 1: go back to their rooms. Trump like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I ain't refuging him anyway, Send that nigga home. Lensky
Speaker 1: went home. And then finally the EU was like, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: we see, yeah, we on our own, this this crazy.
Speaker 1: We really on our own right now at ed. What
Speaker 1: I would hope would happen is somehow everyone's happy that
Speaker 1: the EU truly steps up, truly helps Ukraine to get
Speaker 1: through this moment. The thing about putting them, though, is
Speaker 1: he won't stop. He has to be defeated, and that
Speaker 1: means we're setting up another World war, only this time
Speaker 1: we're on Russia's side. These young gangsters. It's weird little politics, y'all.
